That is a sad thing to hear about your Toshiba. I really hope you can get it up and running. It has always been one of my favorite brands, as I have four Toshiba TVs made from 1979-2004. It was around 2004 that I believe they began to go downhill. That year, after buying another Toshiba TV/VHS combo, we got one of their "home theater" sound systems and everytime you would turn that piece of junk on, it would crank out these loud humming and buzzing noises for about a minute and a half - then the noises would quit. It was still under warranty when my mom one day couldn't stand it anymore and yanked it out of the living room and took it back to Sam's Club. They couldn't fix it, so they refunded the purchase price in full. I managed to keep the remote though. We haven't bought any new Toshiba products since. Come to think about it, the 2004 TV is the last TV we ever bought new.
